The Influence of Natural Tempering on the Physiological Age of People of Different Ages
The formation of people’s health priorities, motives for a healthy lifestyle since childhood, during school and student years is an urgent problem today in terms of the future of the state. According to sociological data, in particular oblasts of Ukraine, being in a difficult economic, social and environmental situation, only up to 2-4 % of children can be considered completely healthy: they have no disabilities in physical development. Over the past 10 years, the incidence rate among the population of Ukraine has increased by 2.5 times. The respective number of people who consider themselves unhealthy has grown during this period from 30 to 90%. Even athletes who are characterized by a high level of physical development and fitness, also suffer from various cold-related diseases [1-3].
Modern medicine offers a large arsenal of pharmacological agents to prolong active human longevity. It is no coincidence that the concept of “anti-aging” or “healthy aging” is one of the priorities of the United Nations project entitled: “Research programs on aging in the XXI century”. However, the use of these drugs for revitalization or anti-aging is limited due to the frequent development of allergic reactions and 259 various complications that occur during their use [4, 5]. Moreover, nowadays humanity has to fight for life with the coronavirus (СOVID-19), using a large arsenal of psychophysical rehabilitation agents in the fight against the viral pandemic [6-8]. Whether we like it or not, we need to “learn” how to live with the coronavirus for some period of our lives. Blind faith in medicine, in its main remedy i.e. pills, with which a person can easily become healthy, is the psychological basis of neglect of real natural remedies for health improvement. The scientists [9] emphasize the need to replace the traditional health care strategy, which involves the prevention and treatment of diseases, and to develop a fundamentally new strategy that is to stimulate the viability and body defences.
The natural health improvement of a human being is one of such stimulants. There are many systems of health improvement and tempering; the system by P.K. Ivanov is one of the most famous. This system is simple and accessible to everyone. It is based on love and trust in nature and people, wishes for health, help to those who need it, as well as swimming in open water or dousing with cold water, conscious refusal to eat and drink for a certain period of time, mental self-regulation, observance of moral norms, etc. [10, 11].
It is everyone’s responsibility to maintain and enhance one’s own health. But it is more often than not for a person with the wrong lifestyle, pernicious habits, sedentary lifestyle, overeating, etc. to have many different diseases before 30 years. The physiological age of such people is much higher than their stated one. Therefore, the subject of our research is to study the physiological age of people as an indicator of their health, quality and life expectancy
Tourist-recreational Regionalization of the Lviv Agglomeration
The article describes the methodology and methods of examining the tourist-recreational activity in urban agglomerations, also in the territorial dimension. The authors present maps showing the regional development of the tourist and recreational economy of the Lviv agglomeration taking into account its functional zones. They also provide a justification for selecting existent and prospective tourist-recreational complexes and places of interests (tourist localities) situated within the functional zones of the agglomeration – urban, suburban and peripheral ones. A number of possible tourist activities and services (products) are proposed for functional zones and selected places of interest. The authors argue that tourist-recreational regionalization must be taken into account when implementing administrative-territorial reforms in the Lviv agglomeration. In particular, it is important to create a standard set of spatial units and develop criteria for selecting them that account for the development of urban and suburban tourism in these areas
